Canelo Alvarez

I'm not worried at all about going to 160 lb.

I'm 25 years old; I've had a good career, and the best is yet to come. I want to fight for the next 10 years, which will be better than my first 10 years.

I already have a lot of experience, but the best is yet to come.

There's a lot more to me than just power.

I never think about the knockouts. I go into every fight, do my work, and none of that stuff puts pressure on me at all.

There have been numerous tips and numerous people offering advice. I appreciate it because it all comes with good feelings from the heart. But some of it we'll apply, and some things we won't.

Every fight brings out something different in me, and it will be no different in this one. I have learned and gained from all of those experiences. And as I've often said, the public hasn't seen the best of me yet. I need someone like Mayweather to bring that out of me.

I will fight the fight I need to fight to win.

I'm a strong-minded fighter.

I'm confident in the fighter I am, and I have nothing to worry about.

I'm happy to fight anybody.

I want to challenge the best, and I'm ready.

I'm a strong fighter, I'm a fighter who can adapt to my surroundings.

I feel comfortable at 154 lbs.

Getting to fight at the AT&T Stadium is a huge privilege for me and my career.

I have been fighting the best. I am just 26 and have fought in the biggest arenas.

I just want to create my own history.

There are boxing fans, and there are fans of the UFC. People want to see blood, but people like both.

I prepare myself to fight; I prepare myself for myself.

I don't prepare myself for a specific fighter. I don't choose a fight to prepare myself for another fighter.

My fans are going to support me through thick and thin; 100 per cent, they'll always support me.

I have a noble body. It adapts to all I ask of it.

There might well have been an Irish great-great-grandfather of mine back then in the 1800s.

In Mexico, you have to defend yourself and your honour.

I was taunted because I was different.

I had 45 amateur fights, and I was able to win two national titles in those three years as an amateur.

My public in Guadalajara and the people from Guadalajara, they've supported me since day one.

At times, training at home is a distraction, so training in Big Bear was a really good change.

If other people want to say that I'm the next person in boxing, then that's up to them. That's their opinion.

What I do is I do my job.

I don't give myself titles. I don't think of that.

As far being the face of boxing, I don't like to name myself that. I leave that up to the media and the fans.

It is a big responsibility to headline on pay-per-view.

Sometimes, once a fight starts, you have to do what you have to do to win.

Angulo presents a difficult challenge because he's a fighter who can punch and take a great punch.

I have a love for boxing.

I just love what I do. I'm not worried about any burnout.

I love brawling, but I'm a smart fighter.

If you don't take an opponent serious, they surprise you.

Many people focus on my power and talk about my power, but I have many more qualities in the ring. I like to surprise everyone.

I've always been able to put things in perspective.

What matters most is the win.

There are no secrets - I've been fighting around 154 lbs and 155 lbs, so I feel comfortable at this weight. This is my weight class.

If I can utilise anything, I'll utilise it.

I'm very conscious of Miguel Cotto's career... I need to do my part on that night to have victory and create my own legacy in this sport of boxing.

I love to push myself.

I've learned from every single fight, every single opponent - some great fighters.

I want to be like a Muhammad Ali, like a Julio Cesar Chavez. So when people talk about boxing, they have to remember Canelo.

My goal in boxing is to be the best.

I get motivated by the fact people are following me, that they want a photo or say 'vamos' or 'Canelo.'
